1. Flip the tray over; use the pencil to trace the edge onto the paper, adding ½" all around. Repeat with the second sheet of paper. Cut out the 2 circles.

2. Arrange a collage of souvenirs on top of one of the circles, using its shape as your guide. Use the double-sided tape to adhere the pieces to the circle.

3. Photocopy the collage on a laser copier (don't use an ink-jet printer, as the colors will run when you apply glue in Step 4). Cut out the collage so it matches your tray's dimensions with an additional ½" all around.

4. Turn the tray upside down and use the brush to coat the back evenly with glue. Center the photocopied page facedown on the tray. Working from the center of the tray, smooth the paper down, pressing out any air bubbles as you go. Trim any excess paper around the tray's edge and seal with more glue. Allow it to dry for at least 1 hour.

5. Repeat Step 4, using the second paper circle as a backing for the collage. Allow it to dry.

1. Scan your menu into your computer (if you don't have a scanner, go to a copy center). Use photo editing software to size the picture so it's no larger than 8½" × 11" and flip it so that the image is reversed. Print image onto iron-on paper.

2. Cut out the design, keeping tight to its edges. Center it facedown on the towel and use a dry iron to adhere it. Allow it to cool, then remove the backing.
